LOL - that took them long. I'm sure he'll wearing a fur coat to fit the trunks, right? They would never go for naked flesh just for the purpose. I so hope Owen and Felicia hook up... Is it too much to ask for some female flesh every once in a while? :P

As for the so-called updated L.A. shots - there aren't any. These aerial shots have been in use for 5-10 years; only difference is the longer frame and zooming in on them. I hope that they'll update their streets of L.A. shots (shown on nighttimes) though. The cars you can see there are way outdated.

Yay, for a Nick-free day this week. Now just ship him and Katie off to Timbuktu... <_<

I watched a clip of "The City" yesterday. They used the SAME quick cuts. So, for the only other truly urban soap, it is nice to see them come to this update only a decade + late :-)

I hope the "revamp" is gonna be more than this. (I never watched The City, but I sure loved watching Laura Wright skating around in that clip).

Stephanie's been in this funk for quite a while now. I felt bad for her in bed all alone while everyone else is outside enjoying themselves. It's like the show is literally weaning her from the cast.

YAY!!! Pammy popped up. I expected her to do something a little more devilish than switching the appetizers with hot tamales, but I'm just grateful to see her again. The way she and Felicia were looking suspiciously at Donna introducing Owen has me hopeful that they'll both be very involved in this story.

Owen is such a player and I love it. I figure by the end of the week he will be Donna's assistant after her little speech to Eric today about Pam.

I give Bridget and Nick's marriage 2 months...and that is if they actually make it to the "I Do's".

I actually wish we'd see more of this. We get all the happy Donna and Eric, I think the story of Stephanie "finding" herself could be really good, not just forcing her away from everyone else. Her speech today---I wish we saw more of get getting there.

ITA.

Not to mention that Eric & Stephanie had awesome friendship - which was created under Brad's penning! - back in the mid 90s when they neither married. The show is totally skipping the beat by not feuaturing Stephanie and/or for that matter.

I read a rumor that SF is getting a very meaty storyline very soon.

Just for fun, a classic B&B promo from 1995!

Brandon Beemer gets naked on Thursday's episode - Owen drops his towel and Donna has an eyeful of his "assets". :P

Felicia notices Donna's reaction, and decides Owen could be a useful tool in her plan to break up Eric/Donna.

    • Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
